We Heard You - Revised Data Specs Now Available

Based on feedback from our participants, revisions to the AJRR Data Specifications were released on April 30, 2018. The updates, particularly to the Post-Operative Complication Layout, will lead to more meaningful comparative analyses.

A More Complete Collection of Data

AJRR collects more procedures per year than any other national hip and knee arthroplasty registry in the world, and will soon become the largest overall. And although the Registry has impressive procedural volume, there are several participating institutions that are not submitting data on a continual basis. The AJRR has created the Registry User Optimization Specialist position to help reduce this number by assisting institutions with the unique challenges they may face.
